Go SOX & PATS!!!

Big weekend for Boston sports fans with the San Diego Chargers and the New York Yankees in town.

Enough said....

6 Weeks!

6 weeks old!

Yesterday was Hampton's 6-week birthday! We had a great day. It was our last day of our class, Great Beginnings, which was a new mom's group that focuses on child development, motherhood and other baby topics (sleeping, feeding, toys). We've enjoyed the six week class making new friends and learning baby games. Hampton is growing so fast - much more alert and starting to reach for things, lifting is head and eating like a champion. Hampton was the youngest in the class. He definitely looks like one of the oldest...especially with all that hair!

Here are some fun pictures from his big day.

Wake vs BC

It was a sad day on Saturday, September 1, when Wake Forest lost to Boston College (BC) at BC. We did manage to squeeze in a lot of fun since we were fortunate to have Carla Gallelli in town to cheer on the Deacons! Hampton made his old gold and black debut in a onesie with a Deacon on it. Plus, he managed to meet a number of my old college buddies and the infamous Julie Griffin!

The weekend also marked the end of summer. Since it was Labor Day weekend, we also fit in time to hang out on the Cape for the remainder of the weekend with Cape Cod Grammy and Grandpa. We had a ball - Carla experienced Four Seas Ice Cream for the first time. We spent a little bit of time on the beach (running the beach) and we spent a lot of quality pool time. Plus, Hampton got to soak in lots of Grandparent time.

We look forward to next summer! We hope everyone had a healthy and enjoyable Labor Day weekend.

Three Year Anniversary

Today is our official three-year anniversary! It is amazing how quickly time flies...and now we have a beautiful son to celebrate with us. Lauren is going to babysit for us tonight as we venture out for the first night sans baby. We are going to Sorellina's - an acclaimed Italian restaurant in Back Bay that is owned by the same owners as Mistral (our old "favorite"). I plan to have my first glass of wine since I was pregnant to celebrate!

The Vineyard

In celebration of our anniversary each year, we take a mini-vacation to Martha's Vineyard. This year, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary and Hampton came along for the fun. It was our first day being "out" all day with Hampton and we're happy to say that he did great. We caught the 710am Fast Ferry "Lady Martha" out of Hyannis into Oak Bluffs and then took the 415pm home.

Hampton let us eat our breakfast in peace...he slept the whole time.

Edgartown Yacht Club - Eric spent some time racing here each summer as a kid.

We made a pit-stop to change and feed Hampton and caught him cracking a smile.

The lighthouse in the background was a favorite spot to "hang out" when Eric was on the Vineyard as a kid.
